Bowen Therapy Benefits?

Treating the cause not the symptoms

Developed by Tom Bowen (1916-1982) with possible links to Chinese Medicine. He practiced Massage Therapist and through his work recognized many seemingly unrelated painful conditions within the musculoskeletal and neurological, also other health problems.

What is Bowen Therapy?

Bowen Therapy is a Holistic multidimensional approach to pain within the body. It heals through soft tissue or fascial release which is called Fascia. It can be found deep or superficial, it is the filmy stuff that holds the muscles and bone together, it is between the skin and the muscles also.

Why Is Fascia Important?

At one point all of these levels of the fascia connects to the spine joining the connective tissue coverings of the central nervous system within the unity of the body. Therefore, fascial dysfunction can affect every structure, muscle, nerve and organ in the body, having a powerful influence to the bodies neuromuscular physiology in many ways.

Hydration of the body is of upmost importance for the fascia before and after a Bowen Therapy treatment. It allows the fascia to slide more easily, speeding up the healing process giving a better and quicker more effective outcome. Bowen Therapy assists treating many symptoms, the following in particular:

Acute and Chronic Pain (shoulder, back, neck, leg, foot)

Frozen Shoulder

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Reduction or relief from pain, including sciatica.

Reduced stress.

Enhanced mobility.

Increased energy.

Enhanced immune system.

Improved circulation.

Lymphatic drainage.

Carpal tunnel syndrome.

With the recovery plan from the physio and targeted sports massages from Alternative Body Works I am back doing what I want in the gym and in the pool. My strained shoulder gives me little trouble now and the strength in both my arms feels balanced.
